Moab is about people as much as it is about Jeeps.

I think it’s worth mentioning how cool a lot of the people who attend EJS are while we are at it.
Last year I met up Bill Burke again. Bill has owned BB4WA.com for 25 years now. This is addition to being the founding father of the International 4WD Trainers Association. Bill was also one of the Camel Trophy competitors in Africa in 1991.
Moses Ludel was at last years Easter jeep Safari, too. He wrote the Jeep Owner’s Bible and has penned over 3,000 articles. He has the ability to communicate very detailed technical topics in a clear and concise way. Moses currently has a web magazine called 4WD Mechanix Magazine.
Walker Evans was also in attendance. He is a well known and gifted off-road racer. After winning the Baja 1000 five times in other specially built vehicles. Evans became the first driver in off-road racing history to win that grueling event overall in a truck!
Rick Russell has been around since dirt was invented. (OK, not quite) He has owned Sidekick Off Road since 1988. Rick has written many trail guide books and videos, starred on TV, and generally been heavily involved in the 4-wheeling community.
Mark Allen, head of Jeep’s design team since 1994 was there too. Mark is a wheeler and he “gets it”. Unfortunately, the cool concept Jeeps in Moab probably won’t go into production. But hey, what a toy box he has to play in!
Most of the off-road magazines will have journalists there, too. Have a favorite magazine or editor? Chances are you good you’ll find them our in Moab.
And hey, if you aren’t interested in any of the legends mentioned—Tracy and I will be there to save the day! That’s clearly a joke, but we look forward to meeting all of you anyways! ~ Dave Logan
